(2) YA Resistance series. Illustrated by Leland Purvis. Color by Hilary Sycamore. Four years into the German occupation of France, the Resistance is stepping up its actions, but Nazi retaliation is increasingly brutal. There's a lot going on in this third volume in the graphic novel trilogy about the Tessier family (Resistance; Defiance). The series continues to be remarkable in its engaging, accessible presentation of a complicated chapter of World War II history.

(2) YA Resistance series. Illustrated by Leland Purvis. Color by Hilary Sycamore. In this sequel to Resistance, danger escalates when Paul joins the Maquis (freedom fighters in the forests) and Sylvie uncovers Nazi plans to raid their hideouts. The graphic novel format effectively portrays the layers of story and emotion, words and visuals working in tandem to bring the tale to life. Historical notes at the beginning and end contextualize the events.

(4) 4-6 Techies series. The books in this series clearly explain the details of their subjects' contributions and give perspective on those endeavors in the larger high-tech world. Illustrated with a few stock black-and-white photos, the books are mostly positive about the contributions of Case to the business of Internet access, Dyson to the prediction of trends, and Fanning to the sharing of music; still, they note the controversies surrounding these activities. Bib., ind. [Review covers these titles: Steve Case, Esther Dyson, Shawn Fanning.]
